(not my edit)
Ima let you finish but everyone should go watch Lindsey Ellis’ “The Ballad of John and Yoko”. The full doc is behind a Nebula subscription but her channel alone is worth the price of a month of admission!

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
100% agreed. I still don't like Yoko though.
That Alien scaring Chuck Berry:
I love this video clip. I understand John loved Yoko but you have to know when your partner can't sing and shouldn't join in a song. I can't imagine what she was thinking believing that guttural noise was anywhere close to decent. I am just glad the sound engineers cut her off.
Yoko is a very good singer. When she wants to be. She's in a few of John Lennon's popular hits.
Are you implying she was trying to sing? I was under the impression the wailing was a delibrate, avant-garde choice. She's pretty metal by today's standards - I would even go so far as to say she was just ahead of her time.
Inserting yourself into your spouses dream performance with one of their musical inspirations, and intentionally voice diarrheaing into the microphone because you're not getting enough attention, is pretty metal?
By all means, experiment with new forms of artistic expression. Go for it. But that was just about the least appropriate setting for it. Which, I guess, is an artistic statement in itself, which also demonstrates a complete disregard for everyone else, in the band, your spouse, and the audience.
I made the assumption that because she was with a band while they were singing that she was doing the same thing. That however appears to an unreasonable assumption now that I think about it more.
The 70's seem like they were a better time.
The drugs must have been better for this to fly.
It took everything in Chuck Berry's power to not turn around and smack her, the way he smacked around most women
More evidence of Vulcan fortitude.
Same energy, haha
Always loved 'Bare Naked Ladies' ... if those guys are in the Fediverse, they've probably been to c/TenForward
